My #WIPWednesday is the cuff of the 'Nocturnal' jumper, which I'll finish today. Love how effective this K1 P1 rib is with contrasting colours. Yarn is Lettlopi.

Hat knitted a few years ago in Rowan Alpaca Classic. Great theme this week with FLOOF! #ShowMeYourKnits
It isn't v practical to be honest, a bit floppy and not v warm! Pattern is 'Millie' by Mode at Rowan.
Teal coloured hand knitted hat in alpaca yarn with a mousey grey fake fur pompom. It's laid on a light grey velvet cushion.

Here's 3 mins of escape, which I'm sure many of us could use. This gorgeously made short film from Uist Wool always reminds me of the many, wider reasons I love working with such a wonderful material.

9 mins of film from 1964 on Shetland shawl knitters, courtesy of the BBC Archives. Absolute works of art! And I don't think I've ever seen anyone knit so fast!
Apologies if this is only available in the UK. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Shetland shawl knitters, 1964
With less than half a dozen spinners of the material left, and perhaps as few as a dozen women capable of knitting the garments, they're probably only going to get more valuable.
